Tropically convex constraint satisfaction

open access: yes, 2017
A semilinear relation S is max-closed if it is preserved by taking the componentwise maximum. The constraint satisfaction problem for max-closed semilinear constraints is at least as hard as determining the winner in Mean Payoff Games, a notorious ...

Competition between decay and dissociation of core-excited OCS studied by X-ray scattering

open access: yes, 1999
We show the first evidence of dissociation during resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering. Carbon and oxygen K-shell and sulfur L-shell resonant and non-resonant X-ray emission spectra were measured using monochromatic synchrotron radiation for ...

Religious Pluralism and Social Networks: How Exposure to Religious Pluralism Through Social Ties Influences Baptism Decisions

open access: yesJournal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A longstanding debate in the sociology of religion has focused on how religious pluralism affects religious participation. Existing research shows mixed findings, often relying on macro‐level measures that overlook how individuals are actually exposed to religious pluralism in their lives. This study shifts focus to the meso‐level by examining

A generic approach for the automatic verification of featured, parameterised systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A general technique is presented that allows property based feature analysis of systems consisting of an arbitrary number of components. Each component may have an arbitrary set of safe features.

Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

An integrated behavioral change model for smoking cessation in periodontal care: The four‐stage behavioral support staircase

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Smoking tobacco is a critical modifiable risk factor for periodontal and peri‐implant diseases. This narrative review integrates established behavioral theories with communication‐based psychological processes to propose an evidence‐based model for smoking cessation support in periodontal care.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Paired With Tones Alters the Auditory Cortex Proteome in a Rat Model of Rett Syndrome

open access: yesDevelopmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an X‐linked mutation of the MeCP2 gene. Individuals with Rett syndrome, as well as rodent models of this disorder, demonstrate abnormal cortical responses to sound, which impair auditory discrimination ability.

The status of thegn in late Anglo‐Saxon England

open access: yesEarly Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 323-352, May 2026.
This article considers how the term ‘thegn’ was used in tenth‐ and eleventh‐century England. Although commonly thought to indicate members of a face‐to‐face service aristocracy with specific attributes, it has resisted close definition. Examination of references to anonymous thegns in administrative and legal texts suggests that the people meant were ...

Insigths into the tribochemistry of silicon-doped carbon based films by ab initio analysis of water/surface interactions

open access: yes, 2015
Diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC) are used as coating materials for numerous applications, ranging from biomedicine to tribology. Recently, it has been shown that the hydrophilicity of the carbon films can be enhanced by silicon doping, which highly ...

Incomplete but Useful? Professional Responses to Cost‐Containment Constructs

open access: yesFinancial Accountability &Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 261-275, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Adopting an institutional logics lens, this study examines how different professional groups interpret and respond to incompleteness during the development of an accounting construct in a U.S. teaching hospital. Using an interventionist research design, we co‐developed the construct by integrating financial and clinical data to identify and ...
